J's India Trip

In order to alleviate our frustrations with our travel challenges, we jokingly came up with the following as the ideal composition of a trekking group:

* A MacGyver (assuming they also have vehicle repair skills)
* An emergency medicine doc
* A wilderness EMT (MDs often don't know how to deal with field situations)
* A physical therapist (specializing in sports medicine)
* A massage therapist (could be the same person as the PT)
* An amazing cook (ideally can supply a sous vide)
* C3PO: for all our language interpretation needs. Although probably we'd only want his head because he moves too slow. Not sure what the Nepalis would make of that.
* A historian (specializing in Nepal, Tibet, China, and India)
* A sociologist (same as above)
* An anthropologist (same)
* An archeologist (same)
* A theologian (specializing in Buddhism and Hinduism)
* A helicopter pilot (just in case)
* A mountaineering guide
* A photography assistant, who can double as a porter for the photography gear
* A geologist
* IT support/tech expert
* Locals who agree to be models for photographers
* A wardrobe/local clothing expert to provide appropriate dress for the models
